Re: Boarding boats at shows
We have always had a Trout tank at the show where the kids could catch some nice size rainbow trout,money went to charity. In the old days the fish would be placed in a plastic bag with a little water and you went on your way. One year a kid got tired of carrying his fish around so he left it under a cushion in the cabin of one of our cruisers,a compartment you don't normally check. You can imagine what happened after 2 or 3 days After that incident the fish are kept at the tank,you can pick them up on your way out.Lots of funny show stories,and some not so funny

The boats are there for people to look at. In and out. Whether buying or not.

Re: Boarding boats at shows
Long cat walks with stairs on each end with a line coming up one side and down the other. Set the cat walk along side the boat towards the rear. But a railing on BOTH sided of the cat walk so people can't enter the boat. For the big cruiser to the same but along the rear of the boat boat. Its a boat "show" not a boat "touch"!!! I've boarded a ton of boats that I have no intentions on buying. But I'm honest up front. I tell them that I'm a fan, I've traveled a long way, I will be very respectful and won't interfere with potential customers. Plus I usually know more about the boat that the guys selling them
